CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

The Growth Management Act (GMA) requires Thurston County to maintain a capital facilities element. The Comprehensive Plan includes the 20-year capital facilities plan goals, policies, and objectives, and additional comprehensive plan chapters address specific types of capital facilities and levels of service (see especially Chapters 2, 5, 6, and 7). This Appendix serves as the 6-year financing plan required by GMA (RCW 36.70A.070(3)(d)) for capital facilities necessary to support growth as anticipated in the land use element (Chapter 2). This 6-year plan is called the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).

The capital facilities covered by this CIP are primarily those owned or managed by Thurston County government necessary to support growth and development. A summary of the facilities provided by other government entities to support planned growth is also provided. For purposes of the CIP, capital facilities are defined as those projects anticipated to cost $100,000 or more, with a 10-year life cycle, and anything funded with real estate excise tax (REET) funds or impact fees.

Capital facilities provided by cities, including the extension of water and sewer systems to unincorporated urban growth areas adjacent to the cities, are found in joint plans with cities in Thurston County. The portions of joint plans that apply to unincorporated urban growth areas are adopted by both the applicable city and Thurston County.

Planning for capital facilities is a complex task carried out by each department of the County. It requires an understanding of current conditions relative to future needs, an assessment of various types of capital facilities that could be provided, analysis to identify the most effective and efficient facilities to support the needed service and addressing how these facilities will be financed. This CIP is the product of separate but coordinated planning efforts, each focusing on a specific category of facilities.

The CIP is a planning document. It is not a budget for expenditures, nor a guarantee that the projects will be implemented. It assumes receipt of outside grant resources, and if grants are not received, projects may be delayed or removed. Each capital project listed in the CIP will need to go through a separate environmental review and approval process.

The CIP includes a six-year capital construction and investment program for specific projects. It also includes purchases for public facilities and services by the County. The CIP specifies revenues that will include such capital facilities within projected funding capacities. Part of the function of the CIP is to clearly identify the sources of public money for such purposes. The CIP incorporates by reference annual Transportation Improvement Program and its supporting documents. This plan fulfills the county’s financial planning responsibilities under the GMA which covers a six-year period, the years 2021-2026. Transportation grants typically require a six-year plan, and this period is one in which the County can address its immediate capital needs. Summary of revenue sources and expenditures The following tables provide a summary of the sources of funds for capital projects found in this CIP, by county department, and estimated expenditures over the next six-year planning period.

Future Needs Currently there are about 972 acres of developed and operational parkland and trails, designed to meet the level of service for parks, recreation and open space as stated in Chapter 9 of the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan Thurston County. Additional lands needed over the 20-year planning period for the comprehensive plan is approximately 210 acres. Land acquisition and park and trail development proposed in the six-year planning period as described in Table 2-2 will assure the adequate level of service is maintained to address the needs and demands of the growing population.

Proposed Improvements Parkland and trail improvement projects and associated facilities, totaling about $4.4 million, are

proposed over the six-year planning period. These costs would be paid for by parks impact fees

and real estate excise tax funds as shown in the Table 2-2.

BURFOOT TRAIL SYSTEM FOOTBRIDGE/STAIRWAY

DESCRIPTION: The existing trail system includes many footbridges and stairways. The bridges/stairways have exceeded their life expectancy and are in need of replacement. This project will pay for materials and labor needed to rebuild/replace the failing infrastructure.

LOCATION: 6927 Boston Harbor Rd

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): Burfoot Park is a heavily used facility. The main attraction of the park is the access to Puget sound/Budd Inlet. The trails, stairways, and bridges provide the connection from the main body and parking of the park to the shoreline. The bridges and stairways are wooden structures have deteriorated to a point that they do not serve the volume of people who use this facility. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Additional maintenance will continue to be required to keep the trails operational. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Boston Harbor Boat Launch

DESCHUTES FALLS PARK - WALKWAY AND VIEWPOINT IMPROVEMENTS

DESCRIPTION: Improvements include the addition of a viewpoint deck platform overlooking the falls. Improvement will also be made to the paths approaching the viewpoint.

LOCATION: Approximately 15 miles from Yelm at the end of Bald Hills Road in southeastern part of county. JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): This is the largest publicly owned piece of recreational property in the southeastern part of the county. There is a high demand for park facilities in this section of the county. There is also a high demand for public use of this particular site. With its pristine natural environment, this site is one of the county’s most valuable park assets. Current conditions include a large mud area at the viewpoint and approaching trails. The mud surface is not ideal for users and negatively impacts the environment as the mud area alters native vegetation and water run-off. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: User experience and natural environment continue to be negatively impacted. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Not directly linked to other county or state park projects. Close proximity to the Weyerhaeuser properties opened for public recreational use. Adjacent to Department of Natural Resources Bald Hills Preserve.

BURFOOT PARK RESTROOM REPLACEMENT

LOCATION: 6927 Boston Harbor Rd.

DESCRIPTION: The existing restroom was built in 1977 and has exceeded is life expectancy. The project includes the removal of the existing restroom and replacing it with a larger, more energy efficient building, increasing capacity and reducing the amount of required maintenance. Also included is the addition of a smaller, second restroom located near the playground.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The existing restroom does not have the capacity to serve the current need. The addition of the second restroom will allow children to use the restroom in a way that does not require them to cross a three-acre lawn and be removed from the parent’s sight, and will help to serve the needed capacity during the peak season. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Additional maintenance will continue to be required to keep the restroom operational. The park rents out picnic facilities which provides revenue. The restroom needs to be able to serve these uses or the risk of losing revenue. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Boston Harbor Boat Launch

YELM – TENINO TRAIL RESTROOM – RAINIER

DESCRIPTION: Install a new restroom building in Rainier near the City-owned Wikowski Park to replace an outdated portable building currently used for City Park reservations. The new restroom will serve both the Yelm-Tenino Trail users and Wikowski Park. The restroom will be maintained by City of Rainier staff.

LOCATION: City of Rainier. JUSTIFICATION: The existing restroom is not operational most of the year as it is well beyond any reasonable life expectancy. The 14-mile Yelm-Tenino Trail has restroom access at both ends, but nothing for the 14-mile stretch in between. Rainier is located half-way between Tenino and Yelm, making it a strategic location. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Restrooms are not available for a span of almost 14 miles. The existing portable building is not able to be opened due to the deteriorated condition. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Links the rural Cities of Yelm, Rainier, Tenino and Bucoda in the future. Connects with the County-owned Chehalis Western Trail. Connects urban and rural communities, businesses, schools, residences, park facilities, and other valuable assets. Links with proposed park sites at McIntosh Lake, the Deschutes River, and other county and city park sites.

CHEHALIS WESTERN TRAIL - CULVERT REPLACEMENT

DESCRIPTION: Many of the County parks/trails culverts are reaching, or have exceeded, their life expectancy and need replacement. The existing failing culverts impact fish passage and do not meet the existing NPDES standards.

LOCATION: Chehalis Western Trail near Latigo St SE.

JUSTIFICATION: (Need/Demand): As culverts approach their life expectancy and begin to degrade, they must be prioritized for substantial repair or replacement. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Continued deterioration of trail culverts. Negative impact to fish passage. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Links the rural Cities of Yelm, Rainier, Tenino and Bucoda in the future. Connects with the County-owned Chehalis Western Trail. Connects urban and rural communities, businesses, schools, residences, park facilities, and other valuable assets. Links with proposed park sites at McIntosh Lake, the Deschutes River, and other county and city park sites.

BURFOOT PARK – LEVEL AND GRADE LAWN AREA

LOCATION: 6927 Boston Harbor Rd.

DESCRIPTION: Project includes the re-grading of a three- acre lawn area. This project requires the soil to be leveled, re-graded, and re-seeded. This project will reduce the amount maintenance time needed and will make the area more usable for the public for recreational activities.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): Burfoot Park is a very popular destination for the citizens and visitors to the region. The lawn was installed in 1977 and has settled into a series of depressions that increase the time required for maintenance of the site and lowers the life expectancy of the machinery. Park visitor experience is negatively impacted as the un-even soils limit use. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Increased time to perform maintenance and higher replacement cost for machinery. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Boston Harbor Boat Launch

KENNEYDELL PARK – RESTROOM REPLACEMENT

DESCRIPTION: Project replaces the existing restroom located adjacent to the Lodge Building. The existing building was in place when the County purchased the property in 1988. The age of the structure is unknown but estimated to be approximately 50 years old.

LOCATION: Kenneydell Park 6745 Fairview Rd SW

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The existing restroom is configured in a way that does not meet current ADA conditions. The building is essentially facing backwards now that its main function is the serve the lodge. General items such as toilets, sinks, stalls, heat, and plumbing are all beyond their life expectancy. The new restroom will address additional capacity with an additional number of stalls and will become ADA compliant. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: A continuation in the degradation of the structure. Continue to be non-compliant with the ADA requirements LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Will link with the currently un-developed Gate-Belmore Trail

DESCHUTES FALLS PARK – PARKING LOT EXPANSION

DESCRIPTION: Project adds to the existing parking area at the site. The existing parking lot does not have adequate parking spaces to serve the need.

LOCATION: Deschutes Falls Park. 25005 SE Bald Hills Rd

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The existing parking lot does not provide adequate parking spaces for park users during the summer months. Many vehicles are currently required to park on Bald Hills Road, adjacent to the site, to access the park. New parking spaces will address capacity by allowing more users to park safely inside the park. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Vehicles continuing to park on Bald Hills Road presenting possible safety issues and reducing visitors to the park. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: n/a

FRYE COVE – LAWN RENOVATION

DESCRIPTION: Project addresses an issue of safety, aesthetics, and maintenance efficiency. The existing lawn has been settling in a way that produces large “sinkholes”. The fill, over which the lawn was placed, is comprised of concrete rubble and has many voids. This project will over-excavate the lawn area, remove or reposition the concrete pieces, and replace and grade the soils.

LOCATION: Frye Cove park 4000 NW 61st Ave

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The completed project will provide for a safer public area, improve the aesthetics, and reduce maintenance time. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: More sinkholes may develop making the area less safe and continue to take additional maintenance time to repair. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: n/a

PARKS, TRAILS AND OPEN SPACE ACQUISITION PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION: - The Thurston County Comprehensive Parks, Open Space, and Trails Plan defines several goals oriented to preserving open space and natural areas. The focus is on properties that contain special features intended to be used regionally by all residents of the county, inside and/or outside cities LOCATION: Various locations throughout the county. JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): To allow the county to remain in compliance with the Parks Comprehensive Plan in terms of acreage per 1000 residents and to allow for purchase of properties that may become available with the purchase being time sensitive. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Opportunity to purchase unique properties or properties that may be time-sensitive may be lost. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Varies

PARKS IMPROVEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

DESCRIPTION: Repairs to existing Parks system infrastructure is required to ensure that safe and operation sites are available to the public. Additional capacity is added as needed to keep pace with a consistent increase in the volume of users. LOCATION: County-wide.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): There are life expectancies associated with the infrastructures that make up the County Parks system. Facility Improvements are used to repair/replace existing infrastructures to make sure facilities remain safe, accessible and to add capacity when needed. IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Infrastructure failure results in an unsafe condition that puts the County in a position of elevated liability. Repairing a system through proper maintenance is much more cost effective than replacing or repairing due to a failure.

CHAPTER 3 - SOLID WASTE

State law requires each county within the state, in cooperation with various cities and towns within the county, to prepare a coordinated, comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan. The purpose of this plan is to serve as a guiding document for local governments’ solid waste programs, including programs for waste reduction, collection, handling, recycling, and disposal. The plan must also list all existing solid waste management facilities within the participating jurisdictions and outline needs for future facilities that will be required to meet population and waste generation projections (RCW 70.95.080). An inventory of the solid waste management facilities owned by Thurston County is presented below. These facilities are located at the Waste and Recovery Center (WARC), 2420 Hogum Bay Road NE in Lacey, unless otherwise noted.

Rainier Drop-Box Facility Rainier 240 cubic yards per day

Rochester Drop-Box Facility Rochester 320 cubic yards per day

Future Needs Thurston County’s transfer station receives and manages most of the solid waste generated in the County, as well as a small amount of waste generated in nearby counties. The transfer station, HazoHouse, and two drop-box facilities must serve increasing numbers of customers and corresponding quantities of waste as population increases. The scales and scalehouses associated with the transfer station can accommodate up to about 800 customers per day (based on a 10-hour day) without forming long queue lines that create unacceptable customer wait times and conflicts with traffic movement within the facility. Currently, the scalehouses exceed the peak daily customer count about 20 percent of the time, with the highest customer demand on weekend with counts over 1,200. Based on current and projected population growth in Thurston County and corresponding waste generation rates over the next six years, the transfer station and drop-box facilities will need significant investment to construct those improvements needed to address aging infrastructure and meet service

demand. In addition, the County is obligated to maintain the environmental monitoring systems and other environmental management infrastructure associated with the closed landfill, much of which requires repair or replacement due to obsolescence or damage from differential settlement. Proposed Improvement Projects As shown in Table 3-2, repairs and improvements to the closed landfill, transfer station and drop-box facilities totaling a $24 million are proposed over the six-year planning period. These costs will be paid from solid waste tipping fees and the post closure reserve fund as shown in Table 3-2.

Transfer Station Operations Facilities Upgrades and Improvements

DESCRIPTION: Upgrades to the transfer station lower bay area to address stormwater and security issues, and other infrastructure improvements to the transfer station.

LOCATION: Thurston County Waste and Recovery Center, 2420 Hogum Bay Road, Lacey

JUSTIFICATION: The lower bay area of the transfer station is unpaved, and the resulting dust, mud, and ponding are causing negative impacts to the stormwater collection system. In addition, lighting in the area is insufficient for working and security. Infrastructure has deteriorated to the point that working surfaces are worn through.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Failure to address the lack of paving and improper grade in the lower bay area will result in continued negative impacts to the stormwater collection system, which would have to be addressed through increased and ongoing maintenance of that system. Further deterioration of the infrastructure will cause operational inefficiencies and potential safety issues. LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: None

CHAPTER 4 - STORMWATER UTILITIY FACILITIES

Discharge of county’s drainage systems to natural surface waters systems results in the county being subject to the federal Clean Water Act through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit program administered by Washington Department of Ecology. Chapter 7 of the Comprehensive Plan (Utilities) provides policy guidance related to stormwater management in Thurston County. Existing Inventory The county maintains inventory on nearly 103 miles of pipe systems; nearly 6,290 catch basins, 3,246 culverts and 26,765 pipes, ditch or swales. The county also maintains a drainage inventory of the 77 county owners or operated and the 991 privately owned stormwater facilities. The Surface Water Utility maintains these inventories in VUEWorks.

Future Needs In 2008, the Stormwater Management Utility was expanded countywide to address NPDES permitting and countywide basin planning. Projects for the area will be generated by the County basin characterizations, basin plans and GIS inventory. The capital projects intend to address emerging environmental or regulatory issues relating to flooding, water quality and/or habitat degradation.

The capital facility projects identified serve previously developed areas within the Stormwater Utility. Many of these areas have inadequate or failing pre-existing stormwater systems, which cause localized flooding, and in some cases affect or could affect water quality and freshwater and marine habitat. New stormwater facilities constructed in association with parcel development are subject to the requirements set forth by the current edition of the Thurston County Drainage Design and Erosion Control Manual (DDECM). These new facilities are funded entirely by the developer, and address potential flooding and water quality impacts, which are a direct result of the planned development.

Proposed Improvements Stormwater Improvement projects totaling more than 8.7 million are proposed over the six-year planning period as shown in table 4-1. These costs would be paid by stormwater utility fees and/or grants.

Boston Harbor Road NE Stormwater Conveyance and Outfall Improvements

Description: Repair/replace failing outfall on Boston Harbor Road, upgrade ditches along Boston Harbor Road, and add a culvert under Boston Harbor Road to reduce flooding. Location: Boston Harbor Rd NE and 73rd Ave NE.

Justification (Need/Demand): The outfall on Boston Harbor Road NE is failing and needs to be repaired or replaced. The failure is causing damage to driveway and yard at 7325 Boston Harbor Road NE. In addition, the roadside ditches are too small and cannot handle the flows in large rain events nor do they provide treatment to meet today’s stormwater standards. This project would replace the failing outfall, install a culvert under Boston Harbor Road connecting to the new outfall to reroute flows, replace undersized driveway culverts, and upgrade ditches to meet current county standards. This will alleviate flooding that occurs when the water fills the ditch and goes over the road and floods driveways and yards before flowing into the Sound.

Implication of not doing the project: Water will continue to erode the yard and driveway at 7325 Boston Harbor Road NE. Flooding will continue along Boston Harbor Road.

Links to other related projects or facilities: None.

LOCATION: Along South Bay Road NE

near the intersection of 26th Ave. NE. Sec. 06, T18N - 01W.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The project is located in the Woodard Creek Basin of the Henderson Inlet Watershed. In 2006 the Washington State Department of Ecology published the Henderson Inlet Watershed Fecal Coliform Bacteria, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, and Temperature Total Daily Maximum Load Study. The purpose of the proposed improvements is to improve the water quality of stormwater which is a possible source of bacteria in Woodard Creek, Woodard Bay, and Henderson Inlet. In addition, the Henderson Inlet Watershed Fecal Coliform Water Quality Implementation Plan identified needed reductions in fecal coliform bacteria in the Woodard Creek basin. The project will further Thurston County’s efforts to comply with the TMDL requirements.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Further contamination of Woodard Creek with pollutants from stormwater and non-compliance with TMDL requirements

Woodard Creek Retrofit - Site 4 JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand):

31,

DESCRIPTION: Install bioretention swales within the Thurston County road right-of-way to filter the water before discharging to a tributary of Woodard Creek and upgrade ditches and culverts along Lemon Road to alleviate flooding. This project was one of 5 projects identified in the 2014 Woodard Retrofit Study.

LOCATION: Along the south side of 46th Ave. NE between the westerly intersection of Lemon Rd NE and the Chehalis Western Trail. Sec.

T19N - 01W.

The project is located in the Woodard Creek Basin of the Henderson Inlet Watershed. In 2006 the Washington State Department of Ecology published the Henderson Inlet Watershed Fecal Coliform Bacteria, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, and Temperature Total Daily Maximum Load Study. The purpose of the proposed improvements is to improve the water quality of stormwater which is a possible source of bacteria in Woodard Creek, Woodard Bay, and Henderson Inlet. In addition, the Henderson Inlet Watershed Fecal Coliform Water Quality Implementation Plan identified needed reductions in fecal coliform bacteria in the Woodard Creek basin. The project will further Thurston County’s efforts to comply with the TMDL requirements. Additionally, Lemon Rd experiences frequent flooding, project would expand roadside ditches and replace undersized culverts in attempt to alleviate flooding during smaller storm events along the roadway.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Further contamination of Woodard Creek with pollutants from stormwater and non-compliance with TMDL requirements

Littlerock Area Stormwater Retrofit

DESCRIPTION: Install approximately 1,100 feet of biofiltration swales and bioretention areas around Littlerock Elementary School, 127 Ave SW, and 128th Ave SW to improve water quality before discharging to the Black River and Beaver Creek. LOCATION: Along Littlerock Road SW, 127 Ave SW, and 128th Ave SW in the vicinity of Littlerock Elementary

Justification (Need/Demand): Untreated stormwater runoff discharges directly to tributaries of the Black River and Beaver Creek from parking areas and roads. Chinook, Coho, Chum, and Steelhead Salmon use the Black River and Beaver Creek for spawning and rearing. Untreated stormwater runoff has been shown to be detrimental to aquatic organisms in general and these species in particular. Biofiltration is effective at removing pollutants from stormwater runoff and improving water quality.

Implication of not doing the project: Untreated stormwater runoff will continue to be discharged into the Black River and Beaver Creek and affect salmon species and other aquatic organisms.

Fairground LID Demonstration Project

Description: Install a variety of green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) best management practices (BMP) around the Thurston County Fairgrounds to manage stormwater and provide educational opportunities.

LOCATION: 3054 Carpenter RD SE

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The NPDES permit requires that low impact development techniques be used in new and redevelopment projects. It also has an education and outreach requirement. The Thurston County Fairgrounds has very few stormwater management features because it was built before they were required, therefore it is in need of retrofitting to manage stormwater. In addition, the Fairgrounds is a destination for many Thurston County residents during the county fair and at other times of the year. This project would retrofit parts of the Fairgrounds by installing GSI BMPs to help manage stormwater, both quality and quantity, and provide educational opportunities for Thurston County citizens to learn about low impact development techniques. Implication of not doing the project: Parts of the fairgrounds will continue to have untreated stormwater discharges and missed educational opportunities.

Cedar Shores Retrofit

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand):

DESCRIPTION: Improve and expand existing stormwater pond to meet current standards for flow control and water quality treatment. Evaluate improvements to roadside swales to improve water quality treatment. LOCATION: Steamboat Island vicinity. Cedar Shores Subdivision at 78th Avenue NW and 78th Loop Northwest. Discharge from subdivision’s stormwater pond is to a steep ravine discharging to Totten Inlet.

The storm drainage pond was installed in the early 1980's as part of the Cedar Shores Subdivision. The pond is undersized and has deteriorated to the point where limited flow control is provided to prevent downstream erosion. Downstream erosion of steep channels is causing sediment transport to beaches of Totten Inlet and potentially future slide conditions and property damage including potential for damage to public roadway. This is a drainage facility that the county likely has ownership and maintenance responsibility for due to its age.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Damage to private property and beach due to deposition of sediments and pollutants. Pollutants discharging to Puget Sound (Totten Inlet) potentially adversely affecting shellfish beds and water quality. Continued erosion of steep ravine possibly resulting in slides and property damage to private property and public roads.

Cedar Flats Rd. @ Swift Creek - Culvert

DESCRIPTION: Replace existing 30” concrete culvert with a new pre-cast slab bridge to relieve flooding and provide fish passage.

LOCATION: Cedar Flats Road SW at Swift Creek, 3300’ northwest of Munson Road SW. Section 22 Township 18 Range 3W

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The existing culvert does not have the capacity to pass larger storms. Swift Creek has flooded Cedar Flats Road on average 1-2 times every year. The flooded road poses a risk to motorists and puts at risk the County road and right of way. In addition, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife have identified this culvert as a barrier to fish passage per WDFW phone conversation and Thurston County Barrier Culvert Inventory prepared by WDFW. Fish present in Swift Creek are chinook, chum, and steelhead.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Continued flooding of Cedar Flats Road during major storms that will put motorists at risk, jeopardize the county road and right of way, and may impact private property. Each closure affects 20 residents. There will continue to be a blockage for fish migration.

LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: Munson Rd @ Swift Creek Culvert Upgrade. This project should occur either at the same time or after the Munson Road project.

Lake Saint Clair Bridge Stormwater Retrofit DESCRIPTION: Proposal is to install a proprietary practice to provide enhanced phosphorus treatment to the runoff from the roadway. In addition to treatment, while the facility may not provide flow control, the inflow could be designed to take most of the flow and pass it through a pipe into Lake Saint Clair, which would help with the erosion that occurs on the northeast bank of the bridge. LOCATION: 5733 Lake Saint Clair Dr SE (approx.)

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): Lake Saint Clair is surrounded by older development built in the 60’s and 70’s prior to any stormwater management requirements. The County has received complaints from residents regarding flow barreling uncontrolled down the hill and over the side of the bridge into Lake Saint Clair. In addition to receiving no treatment, the water is eroding the banks around the bridge.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Continued erosion and potential flooding.

LINKS TO OTHER PROJECTS OR FACILITIES: None.

Woodland Creek Estates

DESCRIPTION: Install a bioinfiltration swale with underdrain to treat stormwater runoff.

LOCATION: Lacey UGA, Woodland Creek Estates Subdivision located north of 15th Avenue NE in vicinity of N. Thurston High School.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand):

This area is identified as one of the major sources of fecal coliform bacterial pollution to Woodland Creek which is passes through the northern part of the subdivision. It will be subject to a project to convert septic systems to sewer in 2013. The 1995 Woodland/Woodard Creek Basin Plan and the 2006 TMDL study by the Washington State Department of Ecology have shown fecal coliform bacteria pollution in Woodland Creek.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Continuation of water quality impairment in Woodland Creek and Henderson Inlet that has contributed to closed shellfish harvesting areas. An opportunity to tie this project with the sewer system installation will be lost.

Albany Street Stormwater Pond Retrofit

DESCRIPTION: Construct an infiltration pond on Albany St. SW and replace storm sewer pipe and catch basins in residential neighborhood to reduce localized flooding.

LOCATION: Along Albany St. SW and 102nd Ave. SW in Rochester. Section 31 Township 16 Range 3W Quarter SE SE SS-1072 LT

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The project is located in Rochester at the intersection of Littlerock Rd SW and Albany St SW and along 102nd Ave SW. Water Resources staff has been contacted repeatedly regarding localized flooding that occurs in the ditches along Albany St SW and partially floods the travel lane there and in residences along 102nd St SW. A storm sewer pipe carries water from the street and residences along 102nd St SW across a play field and empties into the ditch at the intersection of Albany St SW and Littlerock Rd SW. There is an outfall into a man-made ditch on the other side of Albany St SW, however, due to the flat nature of the site and problems with other culverts and pipes leading to the outfall, the water does not make it to the outfall. The proposed solution would construct an infiltration pond with a culvert under Albany St SW that would drain the ditch and allow an increase in the slope of the storm sewer pipe. This would allow more water to flow from the residential area and into the pond where it could be infiltrated. An overflow will be provided from the pond to the drainage ditch where the current outfall empties.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): On-going flooding to Albany St SW and residences along 102nd Ave SW.

Future Needs The Chapter 5 Transportation of the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan sets level of service (LOS) standards for county roads and associated facilities. The Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) specifies the transportation capital program in accordance with the adopted Comprehensive Plan and provides descriptions of each project.

Proposed Improvement Projects The county plans to expend approximately $89.8 million on transportation projects over the next six-year planning period. These projects are improvements or additions to transportation facilities such as roads, bridges, sidewalks, bike lanes, and other roadway features that have been prioritized to meet population demands and within the county budget. The categories below describe the types of projects to be completed. The TIP provides more details about each proposed project and can be found on the Public Works website.

Bridge projects are typically selected by using the State of Washington Inventory of Bridges and Structures (SWIBS) database. The database analyzes the structural adequacy and safety of the bridge, its serviceability and functional obsolescence, and how essential it is for public use. The State Bridge Committee selects bridges based on the SWIBS criteria for available federal funding.

Culvert Projects include those culverts that are in need of repair and/or replacement based upon condition, maintenance history and other criteria.

Design Standard Providing greater lane width, improve roadway curves, slope flattening or increase load carrying capacity on new road construction projects. These does not typically do add lanes except as needed for safety or capacity at certain intersections.

Fish Passage Enhancements that are fish passage barriers or deteriorating culverts are ranked in their order of benefits to salmonid using the Salmon and Steelhead Enhancement and Restoration (SSHEAR) metrology developed by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Other priority methods may be used to secure funding depending on the funding opportunities.

Non-Motorized Improvements: Includes the construction of new sidewalks, crosswalks, safe routes to school, and accessibility improvements.

Roadway Capacity improvements are those that assure transportation infrastructure is available to meet demand created by new development as required by the Growth Management Act. County concurrency projects include those not addressed by developers and primarily consist of projects identified as regional needs in the Thurston Regional Transportation Plan, 20-year Transportation Project List contained herein.

Road Preservation considers the inventory of visual pavement distress/cracking, traffic volumes and other factors to rate the pavement. Asphalt overlays are considered a restoration to the roadway versus routine maintenance such as patching or liquid asphalt sealing of the pavement surface.

Appendix G – Six Year Capital Improvement Program 2021-2026

62

Safety Improvements includes a variety of investments that are intended to support the goals outlined in the Washington State Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Target Zero. These could include spot improvements such as turn lanes at an intersection or systemic investments made throughout the roadway network. This category also includes repair of compromised roadways where it is determined unsafe to use due to natural disaster, such as floods, mudslides, bank erosion.

Programs include miscellaneous projects, studies, culverts and small bridge improvements and other more minor improvements.

1 One connection to a system can represent more than one Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Numbers do not include pending connections.

Future Needs A sewer system level of service standard of capacity to provide sewer collection and wastewater treatment services and a water system level of service standard of capacity to provide domestic water and fire flow services for residential, commercial, and industrial uses measured in Equivalent Residential Units (ERU). The minimum ERU for rural is 900 cf/mo and urban is 700 cf/mo. Additionally, sewer systems shall meet federal, state, and local permit requirements for receiving water standards, and water systems shall meet federal, state, and local drinking water standards.

Based on project population growth several new infrastructure improvement projects in the Boston Harbor, Tamoshan and Grand Mound service areas are proposed as well as multiple additional projects to maintain the required level of service.

Proposed Projects Improvement projects and associated facilities, totaling more than $11.6 million, are proposed over the six-year planning period to meet or maintain level of service. These costs would be paid for by utility revenue, Real Estate Excise Tax, and loans as shown in Table 6-2.

DESCRIPTION: Upgrade the water treatment filtration process, install well source meters, and upgrade the generator power switch including a potential building expansion.

LOCATION: Boston Harbor School Corner of

Zangle and 73rd ave. NE.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): The filter media needs to be replaced with high hydraulic loading rate filter media to insure year-round operation during peak water demand periods. The source wells need to be metered in accordance with a DOH permit requirement. The current backup generator needs to be hard-wired into the electrical panel for quick connection and startup during a power outage and potentially the building may need to be expanded to accommodate equipment storage.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S): Current operation requires bypassing the filtration process during peak water demand periods which increase the likelihood of a permit limit exceedance. The source metering is a requirement of DOH and could result in a potential violation of the permit if not installed. The current response time for bringing the backup generator and system online is limited by the lack of a permanent electrical connection and equipment storage space. Delays could result in a potential permit violation.

Courthouse Building #3 Secured Entrance (25584)

DESCRIPTION: This project will potentially construct an expanded secured entry for Building #3, as recommended in the 2014 SNAP Study.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand):

Project Scope- The Courthouse Campus was built in 1978 and at that that time security and design needs were not the same as they are today. The entry and lobby area of Building 3 creates a choke point for security screening. This creates the possibility for a potential safety problem due to the confined area in which screening takes place.

LOCATION:2000 Lakeridge Dr. SW, Olympia, WA 98502

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT(S):

If the entry is not changed it will continue to cause safety risks for both the public and the staff creating a very stressful environment.

County-Wide Security Improvements (25571)

DESCRIPTION: Develop a plan and projects to assess, improve and standardize critical security infrastructure throughout County facilities for workplace and public safety.

Project Scope: Conduct the planning, design, installation, and configuration of standardized security systems and supporting infrastructure in order to meet needs of tenants at the following facilities in priority order: Courthouse Buildings 5 and 6; Emergency Services Center; Public Health Building; Family Justice Center; Fairgrounds, Coroner; Tilley Campus Buildings A through E. Conduct a needs assessment and develop a plan for proposed improvements. Identify viable funding resources. Determine sequence and timeline for

improvements. Advise County leaders in reviewing and/or establishing supporting operational policies and procedures. Project components may include:

• Door Access Control/Card Key Systems • Duress Alarms & Mass Notification Systems • Security Camera Systems • Intrusion Detection Systems • Minor Structural Modifications to Enhance Physical Security.

LOCATION: County facilities at 2400 Evergreen Park Drive, 926 24th Way, 2703 Pacific Avenue, and 412 Lilly Road in Olympia, 3054 Carpenter Road in Lacey, 2801 32nd Avenue in Tumwater, and 9605 Tilley Road in rural Thurston County.

JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand): County facilities security systems and infrastructure have been added ad hoc as resources could be identified. The result is an inconsistent and incomplete patchwork of aging systems, equipment, and technologies that fail to meet contemporary security needs. Security incidents and drills have shown the need for better security systems and infrastructure. A plan to deploy more integrated and standardized security tools across County facilities is needed to assure public and employee safety. In 2015, the County completed a study to evaluate security vulnerabilities of certain Courthouse buildings and recommend operational and/or system improvements. This has informed projects in 2016-18 to improve security for Buildings 1-4 at the Courthouse and will inform other County-wide security improvements.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT: Continuing risk of injury or possible loss of life to employees and the public; continued financial losses and service disruptions due to thefts and vandalism.

Plan and conduct miscellaneous facilities maintenance and repair projects in response to emergent life safety and operational needs or regulatory obligations. Upgrade or replace systems, structures, and equipment as the need arises to maintain current levels of use. JUSTIFICATION (Need/Demand):

The 2016 Building Condition Assessment completed by MENG Analysis identified numerous systems, structures, and equipment at County facilities that have exceeded their useful life and will require repair and/or replacement due to debilitated condition. Many components are exhibiting some level of failure and are requiring stopgap repairs or replacement if stop-gap repairs are not successful.

LOCATION: County facilities at 2000 Lakeridge Drive, 2400 Evergreen Park Drive, 926 24th Way, 2703 Pacific Avenue, and 412 Lilly Road in Olympia, 3054 Carpenter Road in Lacey, 2801 32nd Avenue in Tumwater, and 9605 Tilley Road in rural Thurston County and other buildings as necessary.

IMPLICATION OF NOT DOING THE PROJECT:

Not including special projects in the plan would limit the County’s ability to address emergent, foreseeable needs, potentially disrupting vital County business operations. Failing to maintain buildings will cause accelerated decay and the eventual need for replacement. Failure to repair and renovate as well as failure to accommodate accessibility issues can place staff and the public at risk.
